why were they being sacrificed, when they could be used somewhere else in north america? uld britain care about what they called the siberia of america? which is an ironic term for florida. the regiment suffered terribly from disease. many men deserted eventually or were captured, only a handful actually died in combat, which was common during the war overall. the greatest killer's disease. in the meantime, spanish forces were moving in against british outposts along that mississippi, north of new orleans. trauma troops were dispatched from pensacola to assist in the defense. however, the spanish took one british for it after another, virtually unstoppable. in may, 1781, pensacola surrendered to the spanish forces and west florida was lost, by that time disease, desertion in captivity had reduced the regiment to approximately 250 soldiers. remember, they had left with more than 770. the hessian officer johansson -- was in south carolina at the time, learned about their fate a short time later. an entry in his diary captured that sense of grief about so many of his compatri

long island was described as the garden of all of north america. the german impression of new york city was very positive, as they admired its streets, beautiful church, this stately college. sadly, this prosperity seemed to have corrupted the inhabitants. indeed, the view of the land was so the view of the land was so that many of german observers speculated that the reason for the rebellion could not possibly be oppression by the mother country as the were claiming from their perspective, the colonies had little reason to complain if anything, many had become lazy and decadent. one of the tenants, shenkman, remarked in a letter to castle that the white of new jersey lived quote like pigs they drank and aid meals a day the women spent the time waiting for tea decorating homes. the evident abundance of goods also encouraged the americans to be wasteful with what the germans to the germans were valuable resources such as firewood, for example most germans could not fathom by such a prosperous people would take up arms against a benevolent under whos

i think also china is depending on the good great relations to europe and north america. because otherwise you cannot fulfill their proposal to the people to have more welfare in the country and more in the country. therefore, from my point of view, we have a chance to convince china not to engage in the aggressive behavior in the world economic wise and military wise and political wise. if we met our powers, nuclear union and north america together and give clear a common position to china, the question id sits. this can be a basis for good negotiations with china, but not if only one of the heads of the states is going there and talking to, to say on the ballot. right? right. so if i'm getting it correctly, mister ha, you're basically saying germany alone doesn't have enough power to wield influence or the other china. that's what this is my, that i'm convinced that we need a combination of our powers, european union and north america together are strong enough to convince china knox to act as they did in the past. for example, and having a shares on critical infrastruc

there are 4 major deserts in north america. in the united states, the mohave and the sonoran deserts are tortoise habitat. there is evidence that native americans have been living in these deserts for at least 10,000 years with relatively little impact. the famed photographer edward curtis photographed the mohave tribe as part of his study of native americans. but the mohave and sonoran deserts remained sparsely settled by europeans. difficult terrain, heat, and lack of water kept most settlers at bay. and while a few hardy adventurers were exploring the desert, it wasn't until the discovery of gold in the 1850s that people began moving to the desert in any number. but the number of permanent settlers still remained low, kept out by the daunting task of surviving in such an inhospitable region. at its best, the desert can be a place of great beauty. people are attracted by the wide-open spaces, unusual geology, wildlife, and unique plants. the plas and animals that live here have adapted to survive in harsh conditions. summer t
